Todd Clinesmith still making bars?

Post by Jim Fogarty »

Hey,

Just checking to see if anyone has gotten a bar from Clinesmith recently? I reached out to buy 1 or 2, but never heard back. I understand he must be dealing with a lot, so I don’t want to bother him if he’s focusing his attention elsewhere. But, if he needs the business, I don’t want to give up and go elsewhere. Maybe just a missed email (which is fine).

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Don't know about the past few weeks, but I ordered and received one a couple of months ago. He's also responded to emails more recently. Don't give up - he makes a really good bar.

Ditto: I also ordered a bar from him about four months ago. Haven't really touched the Dunlop since…

I saw Todd briefly a couple of weeks ago, and he said that he was getting close to moving back into his own shop. He might just be to busy to check communications for a little bit.

Hi Jim,
I did respond to your email. It must have gone to your spam box.
We are making bars, Frypans, Cast Aluminum Clinesmith's, Joaquins and console D-8's/T-8's ( and 10's).

Thank you,
Todd

As you can see from Todd's response, the answer is YES!!! Woo-hoo!

We just had an email mixup. Stupid Comcast! But my order is in, and I'm very close to ordering a steel, too.
